Daddy's Little Girl
© 2001 Words & Music by Ellen Bukstel

When I was just a little girl, while my friends all played with dolls
I was daddy's helper, building bookshelves for the walls
He was always fixing things,or building something new
He taught me how to hammer, and I would build things too

CHORUS:
If I could wish for just one thing
I would sing it to the world
That I 'd love to spend my time with him
Being Daddy's little girl

When I couldn't sleep at night, he would sit down by my bed
His songs would fill the emptiness, and would stay inside my head
His favorite song was Nature Boy, now it's my favorite too
I sing it to my children, just like daddy use to do

CHORUS:
If I could wish for just one thing
I would sing it to the world
That I 'd love to spend my time with him
Being Daddy's little girl

BRIDGE:
If I could turn back the hands of time
Just to sit upon his knee
With his crooked smile and funny faces
Looking back at me

When his life was over, there came a flood of tears
I remembered how he loved me, and he taught me through the years
He would tell me silly stories, and I'm sure that Daddy knows
Just how much I love him, and how I miss him so

CHORUS:
If I could wish for just one thing
I would sing it to the world
That I'd love to have just one more chance
To be....Daddy's little girl
If I could wish for just one thing
I would sing it to the world
That I'd love to have one more chance
To be...Daddy's little girl
To be...Daddy's little girl
To be...Daddy's little girl
